Why is it "wonderful"?

I like clever homebrew designs just as much as the next guy but you
haven't claimed anything here. Any a$$ can write up some random ad hoc
design. And they work for IEEE [tkip+michael makes me question the
existance of other cryptographers]. The real trick is to actually
design something that

a) would actually be used, thus must be required
b) well thought out and propose in a formal setting
c) doesn't involve calling the group troll a troll :-)
